During the day In psychedelic therapy, music plays perhaps the most important role. in guiding and deepening the experience. However, the use of music with vocals (lyrics) can have different effects, depending on the stage of the session and individual sensitivity.
Influence of music with vocals during different phases:
- Introspective phase (peak of the trip): In this phase, instrumental music without vocals is often preferred. This is because lyrics can steer or influence the inner experience, whereas instrumental music leaves more room for personal interpretation and deeper introspection.
- Start and end phase: At the beginning and end of the session, music with soft vocals or choral singing can actually be supportive. It can help with gradually entering and exiting the psychedelic experience and offers a sense of familiarity and comfort.
